I had the opportunity to see Weidman training at Renzo's last month for his camp and the kid looks pretty damn good.

This time around, I think Anderson is taking it. I have never seen Anderson this focused over a fight. I have also never seen Anderson in as good of shape as he is in now (based on a few online pictures posted of him).

The last time around, I picked Silva, even though everyone at the academy picked Weidman. This time around, I am once again going with Silva.

As someone that followed MMA for a good while, it happens to the best of them.....Matt Hughes, Liddell, Rich Franklin, they hang around long enough and get a little older and along comes the younger version of themselves. Silva has proven time and time again he defies logic and would not be surprised if he does it again, however, like GSP, you have to recognize when your time has come and gone. I will take Weidman just because he is that bad match up for Silva..6 years ago I would feel different. Just as I feel 6 years ago GSP cleans the floor with Hendricks but his time has also come.

I agree. Much like bodybuilding, they peak fast and in a few years it's time to go..

Great post.

You can literally turn old in front of everyone's eyes in a single tough match.
